Creatine - anyone using it to enhance their meet performance?
Former Member
Just wondering. We have a little debate in our club if it is effective or not for swimmers. I know 100 - 200 m athlete sprinters use it frequently, so it might be interesting for at least 50 m distances in the pool.
Comments anyone?

Creatine works and is extremally common in College swimming...100% no doubt about it....it increases strength and reduces recovery time.....and yes I have used in the past (actually first tried it in rehab after shoulder surgery)....but won't any more because of my HB and the weight gain.
Musle Milk is the latest and greatest supplemant to aid in building muscle and reducing recovery time.....its legal and OTC and highly touted by the U of A teams (Schoeman) as well as quite a few other USS & college swimmers.
Fort....sorry to disagree but the 50/100 free are almost 100% about power and strength.....and these types of products can/do help.
